Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The power distribution network (PDN) of an integrated circuit (IC) must undergo various checks throughout the design flow, in order to guarantee that the voltage fluctuations are within certain user-specified safety thresholds. Vectorless verification of the PDN is one approach for verification that requires little information about the on-die logic. This verification problem has been studied extensively over the past few years and has been generally solved by first discretizing time using a particular user-defined time-step. We investigate the effect of this time-step on the quality of the solutions produced (both exact and estimates). We also propose an efficient method to specify the time-step in a way to minimize the errors introduced by the voltage drop estimates.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
